Panama Youth Team Ready For Regional Tourney
La Prensa
Panama's national youth baseball team is getting ready for a regional tournament that starts Friday.
Panama will face rival Colombia in the first game it plays in the Pan-American youth tournament that begins Friday in Barquisimeto, Venezuela.
Panama had been scheduled to open against Aruba, but tournament organizers had to juggle the schedule because the Dominican Republic had to drop out of the event because of administrative problems.
The competition will now consist of seven countries who are vying for one of three bids to the 2010 world tournament to be held in Canada.
Panama Coach Manuel Rodríguez said he has not yet decided whether to keep Roilan Garrido as the starting pitcher for the opening game.
Tuesday will be the team's last practice and on Wednesday they will depart for Venezuela.
The tournament is for players ages 17 and 18.
